The chaotic and restless scene fell into silence under Xu Zihuang's explosive shout mixed with spiritual pressure. The people inside Shrek City and the countless soul beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest all looked up in shock toward the high sky.
The tall and straight figure of Xu Zihuang and the Beast God Di Tian stood in confrontation high in the air. The brilliant golden Dragon God Claw and the deep purple Dragon Emperor Claw were still locked in a stalemate. Although no soul power or energy was strangely overflowing, an invisible and terrifying pressure seemed to suppress both the human and soul beast sides simultaneously.
This pressure was even stronger for the soul beasts. All soul beasts below ten thousand years of cultivation were pressed down to the ground, emitting frightened whimpers. Soul beasts above ten thousand years were also trembling. Only the powerful soul beasts with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation could barely resist this pressure.
From the perspective of others, confronting Xu Zihuang and Di Tian gave off a strange sense of mirroring.
Xu Zihuang and Di Tian had similar builds and equally cold and stern faces. Even their majestic kingly auras were evenly matched. After all, Xu Zihuang's current identity was the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, while the Beast God Di Tian was the undisputed king of the soul beast world.
Behind both of them, their long black hair fluttered in the wind, with the mixed strands of purple and golden hair symmetrically corresponding. This symmetry also extended to the deep purple Dragon Emperor Claw and the brilliant golden Dragon God Claw.
As if by prior agreement, strange phenomena suddenly emerged behind both of them at the same time.
Behind the Beast God, Di Tian rose a bizarre scene of one sun and one moon. The sun was black, and the moon was purple. The sun and moon intersected and reflected each other brilliantly. Di Tian's already extremely terrifying aura actually continued to climb at an astonishing speed. The dark clouds in the sky churned violently, as if in the next instant they could crush the Shrek City below into dust.
The black sun and purple moon were precisely the heavenly phenomenon that appeared when activating the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Heaven is Yang, earth is Yin. Yin and Yang complement each other, this is the supreme principle of heaven and earth.
From this, it was clear that Di Tian had not used his full strength at all when dealing with Elder Xuan and Elder Mu earlier.
Xu Zihuang stared directly at Di Tian's cold eyes filled with killing intent and surprise without any avoidance. Behind him, another phenomenon also appeared.
A noble and dazzling golden sun, a majestic and domineering purple moon, and a vast black starry sky serve as the background for the golden sun and purple moon. This was the true phenomenon that appeared when activating the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Cores—an unprecedented existence.
"Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Cores?!" Di Tian's expression changed drastically. His golden eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could a human soul master with a frail body possibly cultivate the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Cores?!
The situation was now completely reversed. If the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores were equivalent to a dimensional suppression against ordinary dual soul cores of the same rank, then there was an equally insurmountable gap between the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores and the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Cores.
The golden sun, purple moon, and vast starry sky phenomenon behind Xu Zihuang remained stable, but streaks of black light kept flashing around Di Tian. Within those black lights, dots of brilliant starlight could be seen. They were clearly spatial cracks.
Moreover, as the confrontation between the two continued, these spatial cracks became increasingly clear and more numerous. Moments later, Di Tian's surrounding space was filled with a ring of black, and the space became extremely unstable, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Golden light surged violently in Di Tian's eyes. He then let out a high-pitched dragon roar filled with shock and fury. His figure transformed into a stream of black light and fled into the void.
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble—" At that very instant, the space completely collapsed amid layers of shattering, forming a deep and pitch-black void space that took a long time to heal.
Di Tian had just escaped this pitch-black void space and reappeared high in the sky several thousand meters away. He looked toward the distant Xu Zihuang with a grave expression.
After personally clashing with Xu Zihuang, even if he found it hard to accept, he had to acknowledge the fact that Xu Zihuang had indeed cultivated the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Cores.
This scene also left the people inside Shrek City and the powerful soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest deeply shocked.
Di Tian had actually fallen completely into a disadvantage in a one-on-one frontal collision, and his opponent was a human soul master. How was this possible?!
Especially the ferocious beasts like Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, and Scarlet King found it even harder to accept.
Looking at Xu Zihuang standing in front of them, who had repelled the Beast God Di Tian, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan felt extremely complicated emotions, and their expressions were unusually complex.
"Tianhuang…" Elder Mu subconsciously called out softly, his gaze kind. But then he shook his head bitterly.
If Xu Zihuang had appeared here with his original identity as Yu Tianhuang from back then, how comforting that would have been for him. Unfortunately, these were destined to be nothing more than his unwilling thoughts. Some things could no longer be salvaged.
Compared to Elder Mu, Elder Xuan had too many things he wanted to confront Xu Zihuang about face-to-face. With a pale face, he covered his chest with his right hand and spoke in a low, deep voice as he questioned:
"Since you have already declared war on our original Douluo Continent, why bother helping us today? Wouldn't it be more in line with your wishes to let Di Tian lead the soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest to destroy Shrek City?"
Although Elder Xuan said this, it was clearly not what he truly meant. He still harbored a final trace of hope toward Xu Zihuang.
The elders of the Sea God's Pavilion were also very concerned about Xu Zihuang's answer. To them, Xu Zihuang's reply was even more important than resisting the beast tide.
Xu Zihuang never turned his head. With his back facing the people inside Shrek City, his deep eyes showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
"Although our positions differ, during my more than ten years at Shrek Academy, I indeed received the academy's kindness. Speaking from the heart, I cannot stand by and watch today's events. Moreover, as a member of the human race, how could I sit idly by and watch soul beasts slaughter the innocent civilians in the city? If I cannot even uphold this bottom line, then I would not deserve to be called human."
"Elder Mu, I will stop this beast tide and will not let it involve the countless innocent civilians inside Shrek City. This can also be considered repaying the kindness of your guidance and protection then." Xu Zihuang slowly raised his head and lifted the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand. Dazzling golden light burst forth from it, and the sharp golden spear tip pointed directly at the Beast God Di Tian opposite him.
"Di Tian, I will personally give you an explanation regarding the matter of the Emperor Auspicious Beast. Stand down."
Only now, after their full-powered clash earlier when he could not afford to be distracted, did Di Tian recognize the Golden Dragon Spear in Xu Zihuang's hand.
However, what caused him to lose control of his emotions the most was the familiar bloodline aura coming from within Xu Zihuang's body. This bloodline aura was precisely the source of the little life inside the Auspicious Beast's womb.
"It's you?! You're the one who deceived the Auspicious Beast?!" Di Tian roared in fury, completely unwilling to listen to Xu Zihuang's explanation, nor would he believe that Xu Zihuang could give him a satisfactory account.
Di Tian raised his right hand high. Behind him, the thousand-meter-long golden-eyed Black Dragon King phantom gathered toward his right arm like a whale swallowing water. When his arm was raised above his head, a giant sword had already appeared in his hand.
This giant sword had a hilt alone that was three feet long, and the blade was even eight feet long. The hilt was black, shaped like a coiling black dragon. The blade was a dark purple color.
The moment this Black Dragon Sword appeared, its terrifying sword intent split the sky apart. Circles of black halos flickered behind Di Tian, as if they wanted to devour everything in the world.
The dark purple light transformed into a shocking rainbow and slashed downward vertically.
Xu Zihuang seemed to have anticipated Di Tian's reaction long ago. His expression remained calm and unruffled. In his right hand, he controlled the Golden Dragon Spear. One end flickered with purple-gold lightning, while the other end transformed into something resembling translucent deep purple crystal, surrounded by deep purple flames.
He had imbued the two spear tips of the Golden Dragon Spear with the effects of the God of Thunder Spear and the God of Destruction Spear, respectively. In the center of the Golden Dragon Spear, the ultimate lightning and the destructive flames fused together, forming a domineering annihilating force.
A single Golden Dragon Spear simultaneously possessed the power of three attributes.
The purple-black sword light tore through the void. A massive crack headed straight toward Xu Zihuang, slashing down from above. This was not only the power of darkness; Di Tian had also fused spatial power into it.
Xu Zihuang did not dodge. He simply raised the Golden Dragon Spear lightly and met Di Tian's sword light head-on.
Purple-gold thunder, deep purple flames, and pitch-black light dots all kinds of phenomena emerged from behind him at the same time.
The black cracks that had suddenly split open in the sky vanished into thin air in an instant.
Immediately after, Xu Zihuang flashed and appeared right in front of Di Tian. The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand thrust toward Di Tian's left chest.
Since Di Tian would not give him a chance to explain, he could only forcefully suppress Di Tian and make him listen.
